Most of these specimens are rather greyish brown on the back, but 1 do not 

 think they can be separated from the true pa/lit/a, though a larger series from 

 Lombok and Flores should be examined.

ORIOLIUAE. 

 133. Oriolus flavocinctus migrator subsp. uov. 



Differs from O.Jiai-ocinctus niVdlcri Bji. of S. New Guinea and Aru in being 

 more heavily marked with black. The black shaft-stripes on the underside and 

 crown are wider, the wide sagittate black spots on the feathers of the back are 

 broader, the birds therefore appearing darker. The yellow tips to the lateral 

 rectrices are generally still more reduced than in mUUeri. Some of the Roma 

 specimens can hardly be distinguished, but the series shows the diflerences very 

 strikingly. 



Type of O.f. mii/rafor : $ No. 5907, Letti 4. xi. 1902. 



There are thus three subspecies of Oriolusflai-ocinctus : 



Oriolasjfai-ocinctu.H migrntor : Stripes below and spots above larger and more 

 conspicuous, yellow tips to outer rectrices as small as in O.^fl. mullcri or smaller, 

 Letti, Moa, Roma. 



Oriolus Jhnociitcttis miilleri : Stripes lielow narrower, sjiots above smaller, 

 yellow tips to outer rectrices a little larger, but sometimes not so, than in 

 O.Jl. migrator : Am Is., S. New Guinea.
